I'm in pain - but its not toothache

This last couple of months we have found that there's been a run of people coming in to York Place with a problem called TMD - you might recognise some of the symptoms below:

Pain or tenderness of your jaw joints

Pain in and around your ear

Difficulty eating

Aching facial pain

Locking of the jaw joints, making it difficult to open or close your mouth

Headaches

Uncomfortable bite

An uneven bite, because one or more teeth are making premature contact

And we are providing the appropriate treatment for it.

We're also finding that very few people have heard of it and many have been passed from pillar to post in the healthcare system and made no progress - so here's a link to a good summary from The Mayo Clinic.
